Backup Jimmy Garoppolo finally gets on the field when the Rams play the Seahawks, and who will be watching to see what the quarterback can provide in future?

Garoppolo signed a one-year deal with the Rams this past offseason after serving as the primary starter in San Francisco from 2019-22 — making a Super Bowl in 2020 — before a rough year in Las Vegas last season. Numerous injuries have set back his career.

Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't played a single snap during the 2024 season while backing up Matthew Stafford, but it sounds like that will change on Sunday when the Los Angeles Rams plan to rest some of the starters vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

Jimmy Garoppolo will take his first snaps for the Rams when he starts in place of Matthew Stafford in playoff-bound Los Angeles’ regular-season finale against Seattle.

After several years as the long time starter with the San Francisco 49ers, Garoppolo has been relegated to the bench for the last two seasons. After being benched and released by the Las Vegas Raiders, “Jimmy G” found his way to the Rams, where he became Matt Stafford’s backup.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay has announced that Matthew Stafford will be put on rest in the upcoming final game of the regular season against the Seattle Seahawks and that Jimmy Garoppolo will start instead,

Coach Sean McVay announced the decision Wednesday to rest Stafford, the 16-year veteran starter. The Rams haven't decided which additional starters will rest.

The Los Angeles Rams are heading into Week 18 in a strong position. They have clinched the NFC West and will host a playoff game during Wild Card Weekend, and their result against the Seattle Seahawks in the final week of the season will only potentially impact their first-round matchup.
